Los Angeles bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics
The Los Angeles bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics is an ongoing attempt to bring the 2024 Summer Olympics to the city of Los Angeles. They are one of four candidate cities alongside Budapest, Hungary; Paris, France; and Rome, Italy respectively. Los Angeles was chosen by the United States Olympic Committee on August 28, 2015 after the Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to back the bid. This is the second city that has been submitted by the USOC for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Boston, Massachusetts was originally chosen to be the American bid, but withdrew on July 27, 2015 due to potential cost overruns. Los Angeles also originally bid for the USOC's nomination in late 2014, when Boston was chosen over Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and San Francisco. Los Angeles previously hosted the 1932 Summer Olympics and the 1984 Summer Olympics.
==Bid History==
In 2006, Los Angeles entered the bidding to become the US applicant city for the 2016 Summer Olympics; the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) selected Chicago instead that year. In September 2011, Los Angeles was awarded the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games. In March 2013, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa sent a letter to the USOC stating that the city was interested in bidding to host the 2024 Olympic Games.〔(LA letter to USOC )〕 On 17 September 2013, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution seeking interest in the games.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Los Angeles Board Formally States Interest In Hosting 2024 Olympics )〕
On 26 April 2014, the Southern California Committee for the Olympic Games announced its bid proposal for the 2024 Olympics. On 27 July 2015, after Boston withdrew its bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics, Mayor Eric Garcetti stated "I continue to believe that Los Angeles is the ideal Olympic city and we have always supported the USOC in their effort to return the Games to the United States. I would be happy to engage in discussions with the USOC about how to present the strongest and most fiscally responsible bid on behalf of our city and nation."
On 28 July 2015, the USOC contacted Los Angeles about the possibility of stepping in as a replacement bidder for the 2024 Summer Games. On 28 August 2015 the Los Angeles City Council gave its support to a possible city bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. The move by the Ad Hoc Committee on the 2024 Summer Olympics followed a discussion about a joinder agreement that city officials say is needed for the USOC to submit Los Angeles to the IOC as its bid city. In the event the USOC chooses Los Angeles as the nation’s bid city, the agreement would serve as a commitment by city leaders that they will pursue the Games. On 1 September 2015, the LA City Council voted 15-0 to support a bid for the 2024 Olympic Games. Mayor Eric Garcetti began negotiations with the U.S. Olympic Committee without obligating the city financially. The U.S. Olympic Committee finalized its selection moments after the LA City Council's vote. On 3 September 2015 Mayor Garcetti, bid chairman Casey Wasserman and U.S. Olympic leaders met with IOC President Thomas Bach in Lausanne, Switzerland, to discuss their plans. Garcetti said in a conference call: "I think it is time for America to bring the Olympics back home.... The United States loves the Olympics and the Olympics loves the United States.". On 14 September 2015 Los Angeles 2024 released a video touting the city's campaign to host the 2024 Summer Olympics.The bid committee also emphasizes population diversity and includes more than a few panoramic shots of downtown with captions touting L.A. as the "Western Capital of the US" and the "Eastern Capital of the Pacific Rim.". On 23 September 2015 Los Angeles 2024 leaders are taking the next steps toward bringing the Olympic Games back to Los Angeles.On Thursday 24 September 2015, LA 2024 Chairman Casey Wasserman will attend a two-day U.S. Olympic Committee assembly in Colorado Springs, where he will meet privately with the USOC's board of directors and speak before a larger group of athletics officials. On 24 September 2015 Los Angeles 2024 named Olympic swimming medalist Janet Evans its vice chair and director of athlete relations. On 27 October 2015 Mayor Eric Garcetti and sports executive Casey Wasserman represented Los Angeles at an international Olympic assembly in Washington, D.C. that week. On November 11, 2015 the Los Angeles 2024 bid committee has added two people to its board of directors Magic Johnson and Maria Elena Durazo as vice chairs. On November 12, 2014 Los Angeles 2024 named Gene Sykes who will take leave from Goldman Sachs to work as an unpaid chief executive for the bid committee.
